Great interview; thanks for sharing. I hope Ron Unz or whoever else you've reached out to gets back to you to help you spread these interviews. It is disappointing how few people in positions of influence want to use that influence for good and the truth, and how these people have influence in the first place because the public wants to be fed comforting lies. Interviews like this are important and provide a perspective that isn't otherwise heard.
Andrei Tsiganov touched on all the right points; from the WEF to Nabiullina to the financiers behind the Bolshevik revolution to the fact that the Russian elites are compromised and don't want to win. One response of his bothered me, though: "Actually, my view is that Russia gets stronger the more our enemies attack us. We should be grateful that our enemies are hitting us so hard. So long as we are in good standing with God, we will win. So long as we remain Orthodox, God will deliver us."
I understand this is the default religious perspective, but if it doesn't work out then will Tsiganov default to an excuse of either "God is punishing us for not sticking enough to the religion" or "this is all part of God's plan"? I mean, it's good to have faith and not get lost in a sea of despair, but no, Andrei, Russia does not get stronger the more your enemies attack you. Russia gets stronger from victories and from purging its enemies from its internal ranks. Wins beget wins and increased confidence; losses beget more losses and decreased confidence. This is a very basic point...
Awesome interview, Rolo! How popular is Katyusha? Mr. Tsiganov sounded an awful lot like many of your columns. Its funny how Western people everywhere seem to have the same problem but no one is allowed to point it out.
It's a shame that Ron Unz won't regularly carry your open work but frequently publishes blatant CCP shills like Larry Romanoff and ranting boomers like Derbyshire and Sailer who always talk around root causes.

Great Interview. Passed this along in a few places. Contacts with Western Conservatives, might someday be useful. I might label your interviewee a 'MRGA' Russian, ... Make Russia Great Again. I get positive comments from people to some of your articles on Robert Barnes locals channel (almost always, Barnes himself). Barnes is a lawyer, a MAGA guy, smart and relatively well-known. He has the energy of 10 men. His live streaming broadcasts attract tens of thousands of viewers.
" Well, we had that adviser on the security council who got fired for his anti-Chabad comments! And Putin personally apologized to Israel for Lavrov’s comments about Hitler’s [YKWish] roots! I do not know why this is happening. "
Let me help unwind this gentleman's confusion.
" “To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticize. ”
I like a lot what Tsiganov says. I would subscribe to everything except for the word "migrants/migration", which is another brilliant invention of the globalist confederacy to whitewash immigration and make it look nicer and perfectly harmless. Less than a decade ago the word "migrant" was almost exclusively used for birds. People who move to another country to settle there were called by their name: immigrants (by the way, not at all a pejorative word). Then all of a sudden (like with covid-19, like all these miraculous sudden changes happen) the whole world substituted the proper term with "migrants" for the sake of political correctness (a concept also invented by the same people). They were obviously instructed to do so by the Cabbala.
By the way, excellent idea this "YKWish" acronym/substitute. Yesterday I finnished writing an article for my blog talking about them, but finally did not hit the "publish" button because I checked my country's penal code and got scared by the prison sentence anyone who dares to publicly share a minimally negative opinion or even fact about them would face.
" They are extremely anti-Russian and they promote anti-Russian policies. For example, they import hundreds of thousands of non-Russians into Russia to demographically replace us.
Look at the problems that they have in the West. They are being flooded by migrants to destroy their European, Christian identity. Russia is no exception. We have an elite that was educated by the Western elite and they follow the same policies. "
In reference to the quote above, read the machine translation of a speech at Russia's Council on Interethnic Relations. Sounds familiar to what is constantly spewed in the West ?
" Our state was built around the values of multinational harmony. This is the most important foundation of our consolidation, which is only getting stronger in the face of external aggression and threats. And our opponents, whom I mentioned, people with neocolonial thinking – morons in fact – do not understand that it is this diversity that makes us stronger. And in vain they count on the effect for which they are trying. I have already said that people who are guided by their neocolonial ideas are imbeciles, and they would take second place in the competition of imbeciles. Why only the second one? Yes, because they are idiots.
Interesting interview. I must say that as an African American whose girlfriend is Russian and who now has a deep appreciation of Russian culture, language and history on a certain level I understand the concerns expressed by Mr. Tsiganov but I think that his view on what it means to be Russian is quite limited. Being Russian is more than an ethos, it is a civilisational and cultural idea that the mixture of people in the Russian world identify with. I know that there are many people of Turkic origin coming from the former Soviet republics who view themselves as Russian. Similarly discussing the divergence of views in Russia, one can have very talented people who have differing points of view such as Nabiulina, who despite her love of all things western and western ideas of banking did not prevent her from doing an excellent job managing the finances of the Russian Federation. I think that the issue related to gold sales a year before the SMO highlights this. It was allowed to happen at that time in order to be able to reign her in (note the parliamentary council who now gets to oversee her decisions). That is Putin appreciating the value of her expertise.
Also Mr Tsiganov is completely binary and oblivious to the pressure being put on countries like Turkiye to follow collective West dictates. Who cares if they sell Baraktyar drones to Ukraine? What real effect have they had on the SMO? Or has the closing of the Bosphorous had a more positive impact on the SMO along with the ability to trade with Turkiye for retail goods and sell copious amounts of gas to the Turks? Even myself in my discussions with my girlfriend who is Russian, I have emphasised that I want our children to grow up fully understanding and experiencing what it means to be Russian as well as American. There are always advantages and disadvantages to both cultures. When I say that, I mean traditional values, not the woke abomination that passes for culture now in most western countries. But I don't view it as my responsibility to choose for my children but for them to love and appreciate their families and friends in both countries.
Mr Tsiganov views would lose Russia many friends across the globe if implemented. And Russia would be in a far more perilous position if his advice was followed on many topics that he brings up. Just a thought since there are no wrong or right choices, only tradeoffs. His black or white view about the world would leave Russia far more exposed. It seems to me that President Putin understands this and has managed finding the right balance to keep 80% of the world supporting Russia, in a way that Mr. Tsiganov never could.
"Our situation is not as bad as in America, where, to my knowledge, 1/3 of the population are migrants who hate the gringos, but Russia would be better served by building contacts with people who are similar to us. With these gringos, you see?"
And that comment speaks to the heart of the Ukraine conflict as well as the scamdemic and all future fabricated climate catastrophes since every so-called emergency advances the planned economic restructuring of all societies. Part of the plan includes a borderless planet as indigenous populations professing nationalism hinders that agenda. Techno/fascist billionaires and international financiers have "no loyalty" to any country this is the notion they want to impart on the rest of the world.
In other words, once property is only owned by the ruling elite then huge masses can be shifted about the planet as needed so everyone becomes a migrant corralled into enormous, cities comprised of dreary highrises no better than prison cells. What difference will it make, If everyone from around the planet becomes interchangeable with everyone else. Each person will be viewed as another replaceable part in the techno/fascists one world governance machine.
Who knows, you might find yourself mining cobalt in Africa similar to those China's migrants who toil wherever it's required. Welcome to the multipolar nightmare.
This looks excellent - plucking this out for now: " .... What the origin of this is, I do not know, but it probably stems from them killing Christ ...." - that's a long stem;; a much more recent and sturdier stem (seems to me) is the experience of being pretty much in the driver's seat of the "Bolshevik revolution" but then ejected from same - by - oh, I don't know - 1960 or so - and then the decades in the wilderness doing the "dissident" thing until Senator Jackson evacuated them to Tel Aviv in the late 1970s.

3. Medvedev is a known Atlanticist (as Putin was or maybe still is) and though he’s reinvented himself as a nationalist is very distrusted in Russia.
4. Putin’s party, United Russia, is not at all popular in Russia; most of the people in Putin’s government are either despised by ordinary Russians (Shoigu or Nabiullina, for example) or are bureaucrats with zero charisma (Mishustin). Putin is the reason people still vote United Russia. Without him the party would disappear like America’s Great White liberal Hope Yabloko, which now comprises a few quislings in exile.
5. United Russia used to be challenged primarily by two forces: the Communist Party of the Russian Federation (KPRF) on the “left” (despite the name it’s at best faintly left of centre) and the Liberal Democratic Party of Russia (LDPR) on the right. The LDPR is now pretty much defunct since it too was a one man show (under the highly intelligent and nationalist Russian Jew Vladimir Zhirinovskii who died last year) and is so desperate to get votes that it recruited Viktor Bout in the hope that someone might vote for him. So that leaves the KPRF.
6. The KPRF has been doing not badly against United Russia to the extent that its head had to be sabotaged by a cooked up case (he was accused of having undisclosed foreign accounts, a charge that was quietly dropped after the elections) to ensure United Russia won.
7. Without Putin United Russia is nothing. The LDPR is finished. The only force left standing then is the KPRF.
Russian elites still cleave to the idea of Noblesse Obligé but the West surely does not. It is almost as if too many people at the top table want the West to give in at some point, understanding that they cannot win and then some sort of quid pro quo can be worked out and things can carry on as before but with the West a little more polite to Russia and certainly a little more afraid of what it can do. I understand these things but you can only get them by force from the West and that is created through fear and how do you create fear in them? You destroy ukrainian leadership and take the country, THEN the West (NATO) will have no choice but to negotiate because then they will be very afarid that their own little enclave can suffer and mightily. But an interesting interview and good for pro Russian westerners to read. I know quite well Russias military capabilities and its technical superiority over the west in areas but I cannot fathom why it is not used as it should be, this article goes a long way to explaining between the lines some of it.
Why all "right" guys always buy into the "you-know-who ruling the world" psyops? We are living in the age of information so what is the excuse for this? Lizards always or often pick up j**s for doing their dirty work. So you must prove that the Lizards, the ones who are actually in charge, not their human relations or financial representatives are actually jews. Names, genealogy, etc
Since you take the time to read many of our comments I wonder if you'd like to comment on this:
Clayton Morris on "Redacted" has recently reported;
1) That a Russian hypersonic missile hit an underground bunker somewhere in Ukraine, and that much of Ukraine's high command and several NATO officers were killed in the blast. But I haven't heard of any other reliable source reporting it. It has become an internet conspiracy theory which Ron Unz at the Unz Report recently wrote about and debunked.
2) Then, just this past week, Morris reported that Russia blew up a storage depot which contained tons of Depleted Uranium sent by the British. The result, he reported, could lead to birth defects (as happened in Iraq) and poison the soil for years. Morris had Col. MacGregor on his show the following day and didn't even ask him about it. To my knowledge, not much has been said about it from other sources.
Question: in your opinion, Rolo, are either of these Big Stories true or partly true, or us it just Fake News coming from an unreliable source? I'd appreciate any comments from other readers as well.
"Why, oh why did the Ukrainians have to go and spoil everything by deciding to fight when the Russians invaded their country? It's so inconsiderate and it's so unfair!
How dare they still want to have their own country and their own government? It's absolutely outrageous!
Britain and America now see that the best way to counter Merkel and Putin's joint scheme to set up a German-Russian Condominium is to make a future united Eastern Europe "great again". And that's *exactly* why Putin has now invaded the Ukraine. The demonstrations in Belarus after the latest rigged elections sounded all the alarm bells in his evil imperial mind. A strong and united Eastern Europe -- a resurrection of the old Polish Commonwealth in some new form, i.e. a new European Union free of French and German hanky-panky -- is Germany's and Russia's worst nightmare."

Summary: Russia is still occupied and Putin is colonial administrator.
Migrants = Muslim invaders

Read this somewhere:

It'd be interesting to have Tsiganov's reaction!
